Planning commission grants one-year extension to Broadway Welding after applicant failed to provide timeline
Summary
The commission granted Broadway Welding a one-year extension for a nonconforming-use permit and related variances after staff said the applicant provided no construction timeline; commissioners indicated they are unlikely to grant another extension without a clear plan.
The Detroit Lakes Planning Commission granted a one-year extension to Broadway Welding’s nonconforming-use permit and associated variances for an expansion at 1090 Legion Road after staff said the applicant provided no detailed information about when construction would begin.
Staff told the commission the company had not submitted the requested timeline or documentation; a neighbor, Ron, said the project was delayed because of cutbacks in the business’s orders and that the owner had planned to hire staff when work resumed. Commissioners expressed reluctance to extend the permit again without a substantive plan and granted a single additional year of authorization.
The vote was procedural; the extension carries conditions that the applicant must meet and the board noted its authority as the board of adjustment for airport zoning matters in addition to planning duties.
